Day 3: the beer is definitely getting less cloudy. The mixture is getting darker again, which gives me hope for the next couple of days.

Tomorrow will be my first gravity test. The brew has hovered between 24 and 30 for three days now, sitting comfortably at around 28 for most of it. This will be the first sample of beer taken out of the vat since it started brewing, so I'll be able to get a good smell of it. I'm really excited.

Interesting fact: about a litre of beer has evaporated since I started the brew on Friday. I don't know if that's good, but it's pretty fucking hot here in Australia. For all I know, the temperature has been a lot warmer when I'm not checking it, which has led to more evaporation.


I'll post pictures of the testing process tomorrow, as well as my opinion of the beer's scent. I have high hopes. Even if this batch fails, I'm planning to make a much fruitier pale ale when this is all done. In the event of failure, I won't know if I'm ready to give up brewing until the second batch.
